then, they get into a matrimonial hell

vent to the rich man, praying like q
derylsh for one. If these affairs are
affairs of the heart let them break or
harden. Women fit to be American
wives and mothers ought to be courted
IN tho good old way, and go to house
keeping in the good old way. They do
neither of these things when they per

finally preyed upon by some foreign

about it the othor day. He said:
"Ihc change is due to variety of
causes. 1t ia q great deal more apparent
here in the East than in the West and
South, but it is going on MI Ovnt the
country. One thing il undoubtedly the
strength Of public opinion that il is an
unclcanly habit. 1t is bnrd for q man
who chews to keep evidences Of it from
his clothes. That fact makes it inGvita-
bic that the habit should go down be,
foro tho increasing attention to dress,
that ID feature of modern life. Then q
great many refined and woll-intentioncd
persons have waged war against it for
years. 1t was inevitable that somo
effect should follow their crusade.
"But the principal causes are right
here: There is n great deal moro dyapcp-
SO and htomach trouble III iho country
now than there used to be, and no por-
son con chew tobacco who has a weak
stomach. James Parton says in his
famous pamphlet against rum end
tobacc" that the stomach will hold out
against the w"cd longer tan the lungs.
James does lot smoke or chew, and
therefore he doesn't know. Common
v 1nT oh fl,t l.,
doctors support the verdict of common
experience. The action OF the tobacco
juice, which trjcklcs down the chewcrs
throat, is to paralyzo tho stomach. II
Will do that long before smoke will have
any pcrccptiblc effect upon an ordinary
pair Of lungs.
"Thcn the cigarette hos done great
deal to put an end to the habit of chew
ing tobacco. The growth of tho cigar
cite practice in this country is, as they
say OF Western towns, 'phonomenal.'
Tho consumption of cigarettes has
doubled many times over in the last
fifteen years. About seven out of every
ten boys who are growing up now smoke
cigarettes. And after boy has smoked
cigarettes few years he not only has no
taste for tobacco in any other form, but
no has no constitution left to stand
chewing tobacco. 1t is curious how
boys Will take cigarettes believe it is
very largely because of the fuss that is
made about them. 1t has got to be the
common opinion that cigarette smoking
is tho most injurious practice known.
That is just why boys adopt it. Itmnkcs
them an object of awful interest to other
boys and to girls. 1t is soothing to q
boy q foolish pride to know to that pco-
pie have marked him out as one who is
rushing with frightful tcmcrity to early
destruction. Whether that is tho cause
OF 1T or not, it is perfectly certain that
moro and more cigarettes arc being sold
every year and less and less chewing
tobacco.

Tho Pctticoat.

Few people seem aware how enorm-
ously petticoat dress OF any sort in
creases the apparent size Of the hips un-
til they havo seen the same pcrsone in n
dltferent-i. O., two-leggcd-dross The
habit of wearing dress which causes
the duality of the form to be concealed
is the true cause of all the errors and
strange contOrtions which seem in
scparable from women's dress. 1t com
pletely alters the character of the figure
and causes an ordinary waist to look
largo and clumsy. Dress man in q
wom@n's skirt and his waist immediately
appears large out of oil proportion to its
height, and this result is the true cause
Of the compression of the waist among
most European nations. Till it is re,
moved, it is vain to argue against tight
laclng. The majority of women Qlso
seem unaware how unbecoming a thing
is the tight bodice, which is the stcrco,
typed form on which their dress bodicos
are made. They unconsciously try to
improve upon it by making imitation
vests and waistcoatH and falls of lace
down the front. But with loose, flap.

Cr~l:
Ia response to your request for my
opluiCn as TO whether bonds secured bv

III this StAt", beg to say, that in my
opinion such bondS are not tavahlc here.
The supreme Court of the United
States, i'll the case of tho State tux on
forcign-held bonds, Railroad VS.. Penn
sylvnnia, Is Wallace, 800, decides tho
matter in point; that bouds issued by n
railroad company are property in the
hands of the holders, and when held by
non-residcnts of the State in which the
company was incorporated, they are
property beyond the jurisdiction Of that
State, and to lux them is not legitimate
exercise of the taxing power, and this is
not affected by tho fact that the bonds
arc secured by mortgage upon property
situate III the State. The tax laws of a
State can have no extra territorial opcr-
ton, nor can any laws Of State incon-
astcnt with the terms Of contract made
with or payable to parties out Of tho
State have any effect upon tho contract
whilst it is i'll the hands Of such parties
or otEer non residents Of the State.
In the case Of Jenkins VS.. Charleston,

one leg and foot to tho bottom. His
crowbar was just beyond his reach, and

Death Of q Pioneer.

Captain Calvin H. Hale, who died
quite suddenly at his residence in
Olympia on the evening of the 9Th
instant, was one of those pioneers
whose labors and enterprise have gone
towards making Washington Territory
what it is now, and what it is to be in
the future. He was born in Norridg.
wock, Maine, June %, 1918. His
trade was that of a shipbuilder, and
for about sixteen years Of his early life
he was engaged in the merchant trade

passage of the well-known Maine
liquor law, and voted for the same, a
record which he has uniformly sus.
tanned, having been through the
course of his life jealous supporte,
of all practicable measures looking to
. wards temperance reform.
He came from Maine to this coast
by the way OF Cape Horn, arriving al
Portland, Oregon, in 1851, where he
spent some five or six months. From
Portland he went to the Cascades Of
the Columbia, where he remained
about the same length of time, and
from thence he removed to Puget
Sound, arriving in Olympia abont DC.

VIRGINIA CITY, July 2S.-The break
ing of an axle on one of the stock
cars of John RObinsOn's circus this
morning resulted in the wrecking of
four cars. The "sacred COW" was
tossed on top of one of the cars, and
one of the large elephants was over
turned and had its leg broken. The
beast shrieked loudly with pain and
terror, and refused to allow its keeper
to approach. 1t upset flat car with
its trunk. The cOmmOtion after the
smashup was indescribable. Lions
roared, the serpents Missed, the sacred
cattle beloved, monkeys chartered,
tigers growled, and hyenas howled.
The din and uprOar reused ranchers
from their slumbers for miles around.
The wounded elephant was finally
side-tracked with its keeper, the HYri-
NAL quoted down, and the train,
moved on toward Reno.

work, and let us know what its opinion is.
If we have to get more land it is time we

So it seems that C. B. Wright's $1O,-

after Port Townsend had seemingly
raked in the pot. By what rules dc
our Methodist friends play the game,
anyhow?

Puget Sound Conference.

The Puget Sound Conference will
meet in the NJ. f. Church in Olympia,
September It'll, Bishop X. 5. Foster of
Boston presiding. 1t is expected that
the usual number attending the SEES
sions of the conference will be doubled,
as it is the year for electing Delegates
to the General Conference. Each
charge is expected to send layman
to the Lay Electoral Conference, that
meets at the seat Of the annual con-
ference on Friday of its session, to
elect layman to the General Confer
ence. There are forty-three members
and supplies in the conference, and if
these desire to bring their wives with
them, they ought to have the privilege
of doing so. No one needs the rest,
recreation and services of the confer
ence more than the itinerants wife af-
ter the year of care, labor and anxiety
that usually falls to their lot. The
ministers, their wives and the laymen,
will make it necessary for us to enter
tain from hundred to hundred and
twenty for week. We respectfully
ask the citizens of Olympia to help us
in the way of entertainment. Any
that can and will entertain one, two or
more, will confer a favor by SO inform
ing the Pastor of the NJ. E. Church.
Let us open our hearts and houses to
entertain these men and women that
are doing as much as any class to de-
velop and build up this country and
for less compensation.
On Friday evening of the conference,
Sept. 9th, there will be an Educational
Convention in the interest of the Olym-
pia Collegiate Institute. This conven-
ton is one of Importance to all the
citizens of Olympia and the surround
ing country; all should make it point
to attend that are at all interested i'll
work of education. This institution is
located among us, and ought to re-
main as a moral light and. an educa-
tional power in our city. 1t is a grow
ing, prosperous institution that affords
educational facilities that must be OBJ
tanned at the expense and inconven-
fence of sending our boys and girls
away to other places, if they are not
provided at home. The trustees have
recently spent large sum of money
in repairing and completing the build
ing, making it commodious and at
tractive.
We now appeal to the public for
help to meet this expense, with the
feeling that all our citizens ought to
be and are interested in sustaining the
institution. We can't afford to let it
slip away from us, as some other in
terests have done. Its stay among us
depends upon the liberality of our
people. Other places are ready and
willing to take it to sustain, and build
it up. 1t is ours let us hold on to it !;
we can do it if all are willing to lend
helping hand. Don't be indifferent to
this matter. Come to the convention
and hear and help us.
The convention will be addressed by
Bishop Foster and others eminent in
educational work. =
